This mounting method adds space between the scoreboard and beams to make the
front flush with an LVX video display. Use this mounting method to mount to I-beams
with a flange thickness of 1/4" – 3/4". If the flange is thicker than 3/4", longer bolts will be
required at added expense.
Mounting hardware includes unistrut, spring nuts, I-beam clamps, 1/2-13 x 1.5" bolts, 1/2-
13 x 3" bolts, 1/2" flat washers, and 1/2" lock washers. Refer to Figure 7 and DWG-3918361
in Appendix B .
1� Position a display section at the front of the beams, and use four 1/2-13 x 1.5" bolts
to attach pieces of unistrut to four spring nuts in the upper and lower rear channels,
ensuring they line up with each vertical beam.
2� Lift the display section to the desired height.
3� Slide a lock washer, flat washer, and I-beam clamp onto two 1/2-13 x 3" bolts, and
loosely screw these bolts into a second set of spring nuts inside the unistrut. Position
each of these I-beam clamp assemblies as close to the I-beam flanges as possible.
4� Make final adjustments to the display section position to ensure it is flush and level,
and then firmly tighten all of the bolts.
5� Repeat Steps 1–4 with all display sections.
Note: When mounting four-section displays to three beams, mounting straps are
required on the rear channel along the middle beam to join the horizontal
sections together. Refer to DWG-1115341 for more information.
